Live to Be Forgotten
Dixon Edward Hoste, China Inland Mission, and the Indigenous Chinese Church in Early Twentieth-Century China
About this book
The China Inland Mission (CIM), founded by James Hudson Taylor (1832-1905), has been a major focal point in the research of the history of Christian missions in modern China. Yet there has been a dearth of attention given to Taylor's successor, Dixon Edward Hoste (1861-1946). Hoste led the CIM through some of their most tumultuous periods, believing that the Chinese church would one day grow by itself, without the dependence on foreign missionaries.In this important study, Dr. Patrick Fung examines the life and work of Dixon Edward Hoste in his thirty-five years as general director of the CIM. Hoste's faithful friendship with the Chinese church never wavered and this study demonstrates how we can learn from his leadership, exemplifying a model of servanthood. Bringing fresh insights to this field of research, Dr. Fung shows us how the committed work of Hoste should be duly recognized as an integral part of the indigenous movement of modern Chinese Christianity.
